I, for one, find it amazing that people cannot be separated from their phones for the two hours it takes to watch a movie in the cinema. Hearing a ringtone followed by that loud, 'Hello? Hi, yeah, that's right, I'm in the movie theatre right now! How are things with you?' fills me homicidal fury everytime. I read recently of a cafe that that wrote explicitly on its door that it had no Wi-Fi as the people working there wanted it to be a place where the patrons chatted with each other.
